Firstly, the property maintains a strict no-smoking policy to promote a healthy and clean atmosphere for all residents. At the time of lease signing, the first and last month's rent is required to secure the apartment. Unfortunately no pets are allowed.

These terms are set to create a harmonious living space for everyone in the community.
